A delightful and hearty stew featuring summer squash and a medley of vegetables, perfect for a comforting meal.
Brown the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat and set aside.
Ensure the turkey is evenly browned for the best flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the cooked turkey, diced tomatoes, sliced summer squash, thyme, and water to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent cooking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
